- COOKY-CARTCN DISPLAY COVER:

Application filed June 20,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAMES R. MARTIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Benton, in the county of King and State of Washington, have invented anew and useful Cooky-(Jarton Display Cover, of which the following is a specification,

My invention relates to devices for keeping and displaying cookies, or the like, in a sanitary way, and itsobjects are, to provide a rigid, bottomless body portion adapted to envelop and support a cocky carton; to provide a transparent cover hingedly connected with said body to supplantthe original top of the carton and display the contents thereof;- to provide means whereby said contents are kept in sanitary condition when the cover is closed, and, to provide means for maintaining the cover in anupright position when raisedto its extreme limit.

In the accompanying drawing Fig. 1 is a perspective of thedevice complete, with cover inra-ised position.

Fig. 2,-a cross section zof the lid, drawn on the line 2-2, of Fig. 1, and also indicating an upper portion of the body of the device to show its relation with the lid when in approximately'closed position.

1 designates a rectangular body portion, preferably made of sheet metal, and having an open bottom 2, designed to be placed over a carton, and an opening at the top located f inwardlyfrom the upper edges of the body and provided with an upstanding rim 3, said edges, rim and peripheral portions of the top adjacent the edges comprising a shoulder forming section extending around the top.

Connected to said rim by the hinges 4 so that the top will stand upright when raised to its limit, is the cover 5, having a lower rolled edge adapted to. carry a wire to give rigidity, and a half rolled upper edge to fit the top of the glass, as indicated in Fig.1- 2. 6 is a lift located at the front edge of. the cover. 7 a support in each corner for the glass 8, and 9 a pair of transversely extending springs, slidably mounted between the lips. 10 which extend along each side of the under portion of the cover and adapted to 1922'. Serial 110,569,578.

tension obviously serves to keep the glass tightly withinithe cover, and the rim 3 co operates therewith, when the cover is closed,

in keeping the contents 'of the carton free from extraneous matter which might contaminate'the same. Said springs also serve as additional supports for an ornamental mat l1 placed under the supports. 7, if desired. They can further be used for holding signs or advertising matter against the glass, insidefof the cover,by sliding them to. the required position,

The device is designed tobe made in sizes adapted to slidably engage and envelop cartons of standard dimensions, and in utilizing same the top portion of a carton containing goods to be displayed is first removed, and the device placed thereover. It affords substantial'support to the carton, and should the carton be soiled or injured-through shipa sanitary condition, and if desired,ailarge ping such defects are covered up, the goods display 'can'be made with arsmall amount of v goods, by having a number of these covers conspicuously placed, and with but a .few layers of the goods-located ad acent the top 1 of each.

I claim::

A; device of the class described, comprising a rectangular body open at the bottom, an opening at the ,top located inwardly from the upper edges of the body and provided with an upstanding rim, the edges, rim and peripheral portions of the top adjacent the edges defining a shoulder forming section extending around the top,-a cover hingedly connected with the rim, havinga frame, a lip extending alongeach lower side ofthe frame for approximately its length,a glass V disposed betweentheouter periphery ofthe' frame and the lips, means for securing-the glass tor-the frame, a lift, and a pair of transversely extending spring members .slidably engaged between the lips and the glass adapted to exert tension on the glass;
